Don't Touch

Annie Reed

You lift the curtain with the tip of one finger and peer out at the
customers ringing the edge of the bar. That's all you can see
through the glare of the stage lights. Emma's up now, dancing around
the pole like it could rub her back and pay her mortgage and put her
kids through school, and maybe it can because no man's ever gonna do
those things for her, like no one's ever gonna do them for you, but
it's all you got, and you take what you can get.
